SE/30 Capacitors — #2

I've bought mine off Trag (Jeff) here on 68kmla. Prompt shipping, and a fair price (15us$ I think). I live in Denmark, and I'd like to volunteer my labour to a fellow enthusiast. …

Solid State Drive (SSD) in SE/30 — #18

Keep the drive partitioned in 2GB chunks and you will be compatible even with System 6. My IBM DGHS is 4.5GB. I divided it up so System 6.0.8 could see all the files on all parti…

Solid State Drive (SSD) in SE/30 — #17

The mystery of the Quadra 605... — #2

Yup, it needs a working battery to start in normal cases. You can try turning it on, and doing a quick off/on flick on the PSU. That should give it video without the battery. If yo…

Solid State Drive (SSD) in SE/30 — #13

I'm not sure if it is only "SCSI-1" that will work in the SE/30. I had this IBM DGHS drive internal to my SE/30 in the past and it worked perfectly. (I only moved it to an HD20 e…
